Mean, Median, Mode, and Range
Today students learned about testing and collecting data to find the mean, median, mode, and range.
They formed their own tests to collect data: running, jumping jacks, planks, and completing a full cycle in stacking cups. After collecting several time trials they found the mean, median, mode, and range with their values.
Practice with Mean, Median, Mode, and Range
